For some reason, I recently needed to go back on IRC.

My IRC client of choice has always been irssi. It’s light, fast, CLI based and easily configurable.

That being said, it has a major drawback : it stores passwords in plain text in the configuration file. Granted it’s not a very sensitive information. But still, it always discouraged me to add my ~/.irssi folder to a remote version control system, even a private one.

So, here I am on yet-another-machine, starting yet-another-configuration. But, this time, I dug a bit into it and found a working solution to this password issue.
